1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 15.4 suggests that the Catalina 36 Mk1 will need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 44.4 means that the Catalina 36 Mk1 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 218, tells us the Catalina 36 Mk1 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 24.0 suggests that crew comfort of a Catalina 36 Mk1 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula of 2.0 tells us that a Catalina 36 Mk1 would not be a good choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making, owing to the increased risk of capsize in strong winds and heavy seas when compared to a sailboat with a CSF of less than 2.0.
